## Resource

Adam Miller and Seth Zimmerman check in on the NBA season as the playoff race starts to take shape. They break down the league’s biggest storylines — including a shocking 83-point performance, the latest burner-account drama surrounding Kevin Durant , and the controversial trade moves by the Philadelphia 76ers . They also discuss whether the Oklahoma City Thunder are still clearly the team to beat despite their dominant record. They also dive into one of the most impressive rookie classes in recent memory, led by Cooper Flagg and sharpshooter Kon Knueppel , and explore some of the league’s trickiest off-court scenarios — including tanking strategies and how teams can “lose without looking like losers.”
